Know why the moon turns red during an eclipse?

When the earth passes between the moon and the sun the light that reaches the moon is the filtered light of all the sunrises and sunsets on earth at that moment.

That's what I call an astonishing shot! Almost hard to believe that this image was achieved with a camera and not done is PS.

Thank you! I used a Canon 20D at the prime focus of my Celestron telescope achieving a focal length of 1280mm.
